Praise
for
Brain on a String
|
"[A]n excellent resource for people with cognitive
impairment. It does not have any complicated, snappy ideas, just basic
needs simply explained."
~ National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization
|
|
|
"This precious little book responds to a real need. It is lucid, clever,
practical and empathetic. No doubt, many who would use it will be inspired by it
as well." ~
Yehuda Ben-Yishay, Ph.D., Director, Brain Injury Day Treatment Program, NYU
Medical Center

"Terrific for anyone
who's had to deal with cognitive dysfunction associated with chemotherapy
or hormonal treatment. In fact, any individual or household would
benefit from Long's strategies for uncluttering our homes and
brains!"
~ Barbara Shane, RN, OCN |
|
|
"A true gift to those who have trouble focusing for whatever reason
- even those of us who are just very busy. The author's organizing
solutions are creative and simple, written with a good dose of humor,
approachability, and wit. I highly recommend it."
~
Liz Farrell, professional organizer

"My daughter
struggles with right hemispheric brain dysfunction and epilepsy. I'm
eager to implement the ideas—for my daughter's benefit and for
mine!" ~

"Most
of my clients have challenges similar to those PJ Long has shared with
us. Her gift of putting words around her experience in meeting these
challenges is invaluable . . . I have begun recommending this book to my
colleagues as 'required reading.'" ~
Lynne
Johnson, Certified
Professional Organizer in Chronic Disorganization, Quincy MA
|
|
|
"I found it really encouraging to know I'm not the only person having
difficulties. It gave me hope that I can get organized, even if I'm
still working at it."
~
Penny Fuller, Gresham, OR
|
|
|
"[H]elps with small, overlooked problems related to memory loss or
cognitive difficulty, giving patients ways to get back some sense of
control, organization, and independence." ~
Julie King, RN, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute and Hospital |
|
|
"This book is useful not
only for those with early signs of dementia or mild brain impairment,
but also for the busy mom or executive. A quick read and easy to
follow."
~
Brenda Avadian, M.A., Caregiver Spokes-person and Author, TheCaregiversVoice.com

|
"I recommend
Brain on a String and its
helpful strategies to many of the members I work with who have suffered
a traumatic brain injury or stroke."
~

was so good to experience the art of a fellow TBI survivor. Her
marvelous recovery is inspiring and confirming. PJ totally rocks!"

DDS, MS, Ashland, OR

Chaos and Disorganization to heel and making 'peace out of pandemonium'
